To summarise: keep it simple, cook it slow, don't worry that no-one can understand your English.

Actually, I have been planning to open a thread along similar lines, but was waiting to get to sufficient rank before proposing this. But here's a thread on topic, so I'll go ahead.

I noticed that our late and very deeply missed friend St. John the Blasphemist, left us at the rank of Lord of Linguini. His old posts, last I checked, still say that - no moderator title. StJB, while not reaching Prophet, certainly deserves to have his rank upgraded to "Saint" by the Moderators. I suggest, or course, "Patron Saint of dear friends who shall be greatly missed", if that will fit in the space allowed. If that won't fit, let's open a thread in the Temple of the Prophets and bestow upon him a saintly rank worthy of his wit.

(I would propose the same for AuntieDeeDee, but I cannot find her profile, nor any of her old posts.)

I totally agree. I've seen more than a few posts before suggesting the same thing. I was also thinking we should make a holiday to honor him, like the feast days the Catholics do for their saints. Maybe Oct 1st, the day he joined?

Everything she wrote seems to have been intentionally deleted, either by her or maybe someone else. Apparently she had a fight with Bobby and there was a falling out. Dunno if you'll get Church support on that one.

I wasn't here when she was posting, so I don't know any of the history. I only know I have seen some fond remembrances of her lately.

I second (third? fourth? fifth?) the motion of Sainthood. I wasn't here to know him, but St.JtB's posts are here for posterity. Even newcomers like me can get the same sense of the man that was available to people at the time of posting, such is the nature of bulletin boards.
